GPT-4o
Fulfill the responsibilities of those who possess, and dedicate oneself to the world with a steadfast spirit of love — this is 'Chivalry.'

Google Translate

"冲鸭"
GPT-4o
Charge!
Google Translate
Go Duck
Comparison
GPT4o accurately captures the meaning as 'Charge!' Google's literal 'Go Duck' misses the point.
