English term or phrase: odd
The Halo lets you listen for hours to music—and the odd phone call—without wires. But the volume and track-skipping controls are clunky.
Halo让你可以听上数小时的音乐,***另外还可以通电话***,不需要连线。但音量和音轨跳过操控功能很笨拙。

偶尔的,零星的
Explanation:
这里应该是指在听音乐的过程中,如果有电话,可以随时处理。这里的odd放在名词前面,应该就是形容phone call的不规则性,何时来电话之类的是没有固定时刻表的。但是由Halo的功能,尽管人在听音乐过程中,依然能让人可以随时接听这些来电

所以and the odd phone call直接翻译成可以随时接听来电,这里的odd就不直接翻译出来,而采用隐喻的方式表现出来
